… And I can’t believe we’re over a week into it as well! When I was setting up my bullet journal for March, I remember thinking to myself that March was probably going to drag on because February was such a short month and having to go through 31 days would most likely be painful. Don’t know what I was whinging about because I assure you, time has been flying by.

In saying time has been flying by, I’ve got seven (7) SEVEN days left until I leave for London. To be honest, it still doesn’t feel very real yet (key word being yet). I’m quite excited for the most part and honestly can’t wait to take an iconic photo in front of Big Ben… even if he’s covered in scaffold…

Of course, I have my moments of fear of whether or not I’m going to find a job (even a temporary assignment), a cosy flat that I can call home and whether or not I’m bringing over enough money.

I think regardless of whether I bring with me $5,000 NZD or even, $20,000 NZD, I’m always going to be stressing out about money. And I’m sure it’s not just me! I think we’re all wired to just stress about money. Unless we’re the Kardashians, of course.

I’ve been working long hours and weekends to try and make as much money as possible in my last weeks before my contract ends and I’m off on that plane. So much so that I’ve even offered to work until Monday! And I leave on Tuesday morning! But the way I see it is I might as well work as much as I can because who knows how long I’m going to be jobless for.

But it hasn’t been all blood, sweat and tears. Over the weekend, a few friends from Wellington (where I was living) came up to visit and my sister used it as an opportunity to throw a ‘surprise’ going away party for me (wasn’t really a surprise cause I knew about it but bless her soul for trying lel). It was a lovely evening filled with friends, laughs, drinks and cakes.

I’m also enjoying the irony of how organise I was when I had 100 days left until the big day. I’ve been living out of my suitcase and all my clothes were in their relevant packing cubes, shoes nicely laid down and my PJs and coats neatly folded over the top. I don’t know what happened between then and now because all my shoes are out of the suitcase, my clothes are living in all corners of my room and my coat and PJs are strewn around the suitcase. Something tells me I need to start doing my laundry and sort my shit out.

You know what I’m dreading? Having to select a maximum of 6 nail polishes to take with me. SIX out of the 20 or 30 that I own. What a nightmare.

ANYWAYS, besides from this post being a quick update about how I’m feeling and what I’ve been up to as we draw closer to D-day, I wanted to say that I’m going to keep up with the blogging as best I can. My plan at the moment is to put up three blogs a week – Wednesday will cover work-related topics, Fridays will be all about my big move to London and handy tips and tricks and Sunday will cover productivity-related topics.

I know this may be ambitious given the upcoming life changes but I think it’s doable. And if it isn’t, feel free to comment below and tell me that I’ve just set myself up for failure.
